Masayuki Takayanagi & New Direction Unit "Second Session (Mass Projection)" Taj Mahal Travellers | Biography. The Taj Mahal Travellers were a legendary improvisational group out of Tokyo, who combined Eastern and Western instruments, electronics and vocal chants, and used heavy post-production processing to create unique long flowing jams, with deep organic droning and pulsing, similar to some of the cosmic electronic stuff out of Germany at the same time, though filtered through a Japanese sensibility.
Their music is considered at the pinnacle of Asian psychedelic music of the late 1960s and early 1970s. At the same time they were far closer to avant-garde minimalism, with some of the group even disavowing the psychedelic connection. Their few recordings feature long untitled freeform tracks, often taking up an entire side of the record. Taj Mahal Travellers On Tour 1972. BOREDOMS [V∞REDOMS] Boredoms | Biography. Keiji Haino. Keiji Haino (灰野 敬二 Haino Keiji) born May 3, 1952 in Chiba, Japan, and currently residing in Tokyo, is a Japanese musician and singer-songwriter whose work has included rock, free improvisation, noise music, percussion, psychedelic music, minimalism and drone music.
He has been active since the 1970s and continues to record regularly and in new styles. History[edit] Haino's initial artistic outlet was theatre, inspired by the radical writings of Antonin Artaud. An epiphanic moment came when he heard The Doors' "When The Music's Over" and changed course towards music. After brief stints in a number of blues and experimental outfits, he formed improvised rock band Lost Aaraaf in 1970. In the mid 1970s, having left Lost Aaraaf, he collaborated with psychedelic multi-instrumentalist Magical Power Mako. His musical output throughout the late 1970s is scarcely documented, until the formation of his rock duo Fushitsusha in 1978 (although their first LP did not surface until 1989).
Style[edit] Fushitsusha "Untitled" 01 (1978) Fushitsusha | Biography. Artists - Yamazaki Maso. Maso Yamazaki performing live in Kyoto, March 21 '05 He was a member of the noise group Flying Testicle with Merzbow, as well as the Japanoise supergroup Bustmonster which included Akita Masami from Merzbow on drums. Maso has said that he became interested in making noise music when he heard the sounds of destruction on television as a child, but that his first exposure to the Japanese noise genre was Hanatarash's debut LP, which at the time did not impress Maso.
It was however later, upon happening on an LP entitled LSD by a Tokyo noise band named Nord, and mistakenly thinking it was an album by the band LSD, that these experiences had possibly kindled his future interest. A year thereafter Maso sought many different types of noise releases in the underground music stores in and around Osaka Japan. All of Maso's projects draw heavily from the psychedelic music scene in outward style, but sonically most of them resemble very few of the traits of late 1960s and 1970s psychedelic music.

Masami Akita (秋田 昌美, Akita Masami? , born December 19, 1956), better known by his stage name Merzbow (メルツバウ, Merutsubau?) , is a Japanese noise musician. Since 1979,[1] he has released over 350 recordings. The name "Merzbow" comes from German artist Kurt Schwitters' artwork, "Merzbau".
This was chosen to reflect Akita's dada influence and junk art aesthetic. In addition to this, Akita has cited a wide range of influences from progressive rock, free jazz, modern classical and musique concrète[2] to BDSM and Japanese bondage.[3] More recently, he has been inspired by animals, animal rights, and environmentalism.[4] As well as being a prolific musician, he has been a writer and editor for several books and magazines in Japan, and has written 17 books of his own. In 2000, Extreme Records released the 50-CD box set known as the Merzbox. Life and career[edit] Early life[edit] Lowest Music & Arts (1979–1984)[edit] I threw all my past music career in the garbage.
